Kowhai

I had seen those flowers while walking around in Hamilton and after my trip to Wellington, now I know their name! And thanks to the page on Wikipedia, I know that the bark and seeds are poisonous.. glad I didn't touch it!

I have absolutely no idea what is the name of this beautiful flower.. can it be found only in Tasmania/Australia?? I'm calling on the experts to tell me.

Doesn't it look like a monster that has just woken up and is stretching its arms??

Orchid

I was going through my collection of photos and came a cross a series of orchids taken at the Tropical Centre (Botanic Gardens in Sydney) , all shapes, sizes and colors. Yet, the photo I preferred was in black and white.

En parcourant mes archives photographiques, je suis tombee sur une serie de photos d'orchidees prises dans une des serres du jardin botanique de Sydney. Des orchidees de toutes les couleurs, tailles et formes, plus belles les unes que les autres. Et pourtant c'est cette photo en noir et blanc que je prefere.
